If they don't go huge in FA next year and jump into the top 10 in terms of overall good teams, then I'll start to wonder if Ballard is the right guy.
They must have a plan with the psychotic amount of cap they'll have next year.
If his vision was to create solid young depth across the board and then go big in FA while being a little frugal his first two years, then I might start thinking genius.

Watching Anderson with the Jets is kind of bitter sweet. Glad is on a good D now and playing lights out. He seemed such an awesome guy.
did ballard let a playmaker get away

Two weeks - impossible to say anything. Week one they couldn't run the ball and were terrible on defense. Week one was a Pagano-esque loss.
As far as the defensive scheme goes, I always hated this defense under Polian and Dungy, but in watching it yesterday I thought, if you use bigger ends on early downs, bigger DTs and have a sideline-to-sideline playmaking LB, I think I might actually like it. Now we just need the Freeney/Mathis speed rush, and for Hooker's potential ball skills to be seen and realized, you have to get a consistent rush off the edge to hurry a few throws, otherwise Hooker will be invisible.

We're not desperate! We're rebuilding. I don't think Le'Veon Bell OR Josh Gordon is the answer. TRUST THE PROCESS!
we have been rebuilding for 6 years time to stop the never ending draft built and sign some talent

I disagree. He’s been out for a while so, we probably haven’t seen him at his best. He can be a playmaker.
some players bodies just cant take the contact of football at the nfl level

Safety depth is something that needs to be addressed in the offseason.
Geathers is made of glass and Hooker's durability is questionable also.

Geathers injures again? Might Not last long on this team. This will be his last year unless he is healthy the majority of the year imo.

It was reported this week the Rams planned to get Mack from the Raiders for one year and one year only, to win the SB then trade him off. It's called "win now". Ballard is not of that school. He is building from a foundation he will own this year and the years in the future. Sometimes both methods work and sometimes they do not.
fans have to be patient and wait years for ballards method to work if it ever does, guys like hoodie go all out each season both methods can work one just takes a lot longer and luck is getting older
-
in year two of the ballard show he has put together a below average talent group this is very clear to the media

You gotta be kidding. The Colts are more talented IMO...
not kidding ballard is an owners dream filling the team with rookie contract draft picks and low pay castoffs from other teams cuts no game changers on the roster except luck hard to compete with below average low pay talent

No.
That strategy works for the Pats because BB is the GOAT HC. He could scheme an AFL player into looking like an all pro. Building through the draft is important. Remember that Tom Brady was a Patriots DRAFT CHOICE. Never underestimate the power of the draft.
how has the power of the draft worked out for us, will we make the playoffs this year, the draft is great for getting a qb but to compete each season need more than the draft and low tier cuts from other teams

i agree the draft is important but to be competitive each season you have to add playmakers in all ways not just the draft and other teams low priced cuts

neither hooker nor gathers looked like they should be starters

The question that should be asked from the announcers is.....why is it like last year, the colts go to a protect the lead defense? Instead of doing what they did the first 3 Quarters and run blitz packages, they drop everyone back into coverage allowing Dalton to have all that time to throw the ball. Surely I can't be the only one who has seen that since last year? or am I losing my mind? lol
new coaches should be different but they dont seem to be
-
dont see that in year two ballard has even made us competitive in our division his build through the draft method will not let us compete for years remains to be seen if any of his draft picks turn into impact players or cornerstones

lol same, obviously for the colts to win.. but we play at 1:00 Jags play at 4:25. You gonna change your mind when we start 0-2 for the 1038794636th straight season LOL

seems like we wasted lucks years with the never ending rebuild with low dollar low talent players, no big impact draft picks. we need to copy the pats way. no rebuild just put above average talent on the field each season, does not matter to bill how he gets them no long term building through the draft for them
